Book: Fire in the Blood (Last Moon Rising) by Dale Ibitz

about this book: 17 year-old Haley is tumbled from Earth to Eyidora, a globe in the planetary chain that controls the weather. Haley finds herself immersed in a battle between the Eyids, the gods of nature, resulting in destructive weather on all globes in the planetary chain. Haley discovers she's descendant of the Air Eyid and holds the key to stopping the war and re-balancing nature on all the globes. But the Eyid War isn't the only challenge Haley faces; a descendant of the Fire Eyid wants to take control of the weather, and Eyidora, and make himself a god. Problem? He wants to make Haley his queen, wipe the globe clean of every living creature, and start a new race.

I began writing this book when the issues about global climate change was prominent in the news. It seemed like such a monumental task to fix a problem that can't be reversed. So I thought, "What if there was a reason behind global climate change that could be fixed?" Hence, I came up with the idea of these gods of nature on a parallel world who were at war; end the war, and stop global climate change.

I chose this cover because I wanted to show the elements most prominent in the book: wind and fire. A tornado in a firestorm was perfect.

Fire in the Blood, first in the Last Moon Rising series, has a little bit of everything: action, romance, greed, and lust.
